In 1962 Hitchcock and Truffaut locked themselves away in
Hollywood for a week to excavate the secrets behind the mise-en-scène in
cinema. Based on the original recordings of this meeting-used to produce the
mythical book Hitchcock/Truffaut-this film illustrates the greatest cinema
lesson of all time and plummets us into the world of the creator of Psycho, The
Birds, and Vertigo. Hitchcock's incredibly modern art is elucidated and
explained by today's leading filmmakers: Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Arnaud
Desplechin, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, James Gray, Olivier Assayas,
Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader. Written by

This week has me screening another documentary this one is
HITCHCOCK & TRUFFAUT. This doc has two of cinemas greatest auteur speaking
on the art of filmmaking and their differing approaches. That being part of the
conversation I knew I had to view it. Upon watching I felt the doc delivered a
very interesting look at Hitchcock’s work and his legacy and this idea of
experimentation that throughout the life of Hitchcock he seldom did. So for HITCHCOCK
& TRUFFAUT I give it 4 stars of 5.
